Explore Gestalt Language Processing

‘I’ll be back’ and ‘you’re welcome’ are phrases containing sounds which the majority of people process in chunks, or as gestalts, but what about the people who process everything they hear in chunks? How do they learn language? How can we support them best with AAC?

Smartboxers Kerry (Head of Training) and Becky (SLT) explore the two different types of language processing, Gestalt Language Processing and Analytical Language Processing.

They will also provide practical ideas on how you can support a Gestalt Language processor who uses AAC through Grid software. The webinar is designed for beginners and is intended to share useful tips which get you thinking.

  • Find out more about language processing models
  • Understand how Gestalt and Analytical language processing differ
  • Gather practical tips and adaptions you can make in Grid to support a gestalt AAC user
  • The floor is yours! Ask clarifying questions to guide your understanding and successfully implement what you learn in Grid
